It's not that expensive in the US. A few hundred is typical, and you don't need a lawyer (though spending the money on one up front will save you from spending more when you screw it up the first few times).

Ok, that's less than what I would have expected, but still more than what most people want to invest into something that's basically a joke.

Feasible for a non-profit however

Don't you need working prototype to get a patent? Otherwise musk or bezos or another for-profit asshole could patent every known scifi gimmick, wait until someone actually invents it and then send him a bill...?
